Description: | Stone rotary quern fragment probably of Roman dateThe stone is from a rotary quern and is probably a fragmentary upper-stone in coarse-grained sandstone, now of sub-triangular form (with a maximum surviving length of 99.0mm, a maximum surviving width of 91.5mm and a weight of 357.0g). One of the edges is curved and is likely to be the original outer edge of the quern. The stone is of rectangular section and is thickest at the outside edge, which is without a raised lip (with a thickness of 33.1mm compared with a thickness of 30.1mm at the inside). The grinding face has radial grooving, with four grooves represented on the fragment. Both broken edges on the fragment are old-breaks and there is no evidence for the central aperture on the fragment.
